I can see how this would be secure if under tension and if the figure 8 is firmly seated against the trunk. I just wonder what would happen if the line went slack, and the loop going around the small end were to slip off. I suppose that might be an advantage if you want to avoid climbing back up to retrieve, but then you 'd have to search for your figure 8 in the dirt below.
It's not my favorite redirect, to be honest. It is a neat trick to have in some situations. It's definitely not coming undone, in my opinion. I have a new video coming out on Sunday with another retrievable redirect, which is better. Then I thought of a better one which will be out the following sunday 😆. Thanks for watching, brotha🤙 be safe!
The only real advantage is just being able to do it with a figure 8. Also, it's more of a static redirect, so it won't share the load like a munter would. It's like if the primary tie-in is on a sharp angle from the redirect and you don't want the added leverage on it. I will cover more redirects soon, including carabiner and sling ones. It's another tool for the box for sure. Thanks for watching. Be safe, brotha 🤙
As a beginner I know redirects are a weakness for me. I recently bought a number of Dyneema loops so I don't have an excuse to do some of things that I have done in recent past. Things I'm not proud of! So I need to work on my minimum gear that goes on every climb.
I've done some things in the past I learned from as well 😆. I will have some upcoming videos of different redirects using webbing slings and caribiners. You can use those dyneema loops for these redirects. Thanks for watching 🤙
I’m so glad I taught you how to do that 😆. You did a great job listening to my instructions !
Thanks. I'm sure you will use it every day!
@@PoplarMechanic yes I will for sure lol. I always enjoy watching your videos Dustin 😊
@user-sh4vs7zs9l Well, I appreciate that. At least I got 1 solid follower, 😆
@@PoplarMechanic I’m sure u have more than just your comical auntie as your one faithful follower lol
Excellent demo sir! I like how minimal that is. I like the kiss method.
It's definitely another tool for the box. Thanks for watching Dano!! 🤙

Nifty technique, but are there any advantages over a more straightforward technique like sling/biner with a munter?

Not so great ..is not retrivable and if the line is not in tension when go on a branches is dangerous are many sistem more safety and pratic ...
I agree! Lucky for you, we got more srt redirects coming! Thanks for watching 🤙
